Osmosis and Osmolarity
Vesicular Transport
Osmosis is the movement of water from the solute of lower concentration to the Heigher solute concentration.
The osmolarity of the solution is defined as number of solute per 1 kg of solvent.
The normal osmolarity of body fluid is between 280- 300
mosmol/kg
The isotonic/Iso-Osmotic solution have an osmotanly similar to the
reference (Plasma)
Hypo osmotic solution have osmolality lower than plasma.
Hyperosmotic solution have osmolarity greater than plasma.
The Hypo Osmotic solution causes water to enter the cell and causes cell swelling.
The Hyperosmotic solution causes water to leave cells which leads
to cell shrinking and iso-osmotic solution has no net effect of
water movement across the cells
vesicular transport
Endocytosis is used to move molecules into the cells.
This includes Pinocytosis and phagocytosis.
The process that expels material from cells across cellular
membrane through vesicles called Exocytosis.
Explanation
-- Endocytosis is the process of taking in of the substances by the
living cells through invagination of cell membrane
-- Pinocytosis. It it intake of liquid molecules in the cells, called cell drinking
-Phagocytosis is the process of intake of solid substance in the cell , called cell eating .
Exocytosis is the process of elimination of the substance from the cells via cell membrane vesicular transport .
